Jefferson Animal Hospital & Regional Emergency Center

We provide comprehensive physical exams for pets of all ages, including semi-annual checkups recommended for adult and senior pets. These exams help us detect early signs of disease, monitor overall health, and ensure your pet lives a longer, healthier life.

We offer specialized wellness packages for puppies and kittens, including initial health assessments, vaccinations (such as Rabies, Distemper, Parvo), deworming, and nutritional counseling to ensure a strong start in life.

We provide tailored wellness care for senior pets, including semi-annual exams, blood profiles, urinalysis, and personalized vaccination plans to address age-related conditions like kidney disease, diabetes, or arthritis.

We administer core vaccinations for dogs (DHPP: Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza) and cats (FVRCP: Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia), following a customized vaccination protocol based on lifestyle risk assessments.

We provide annual heartworm testing and prevention programs to protect your pet from this potentially fatal disease, especially important in regions where mosquitoes are prevalent.

We offer comprehensive flea and tick prevention treatments tailored to your pet’s needs, including oral medications, topical solutions, and environmental control recommendations.

We strongly recommend microchipping for all pets as a permanent form of identification. Microchips are implanted during spay/neuter procedures or wellness visits and registered in national databases.

Our veterinarians provide personalized nutritional guidance, including weight management plans, diet recommendations for chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes), and advice on feeding practices for puppies/kittens/seniors.

We perform fecal testing to identify intestinal parasites and prescribe deworming treatments as part of our preventive care protocols, especially for puppies, kittens, or pets with outdoor access.

Our advanced in-house laboratory performs complete blood counts (CBC), chemistry panels, and electrolyte tests to diagnose illnesses like kidney disease, diabetes, or infections quickly—often with results in 30 minutes.

We offer urinalysis as part of routine wellness exams and diagnostic workups to detect urinary tract infections, crystals, or signs of kidney disease in pets of all ages.

Our lab conducts fecal testing to screen for intestinal parasites (e.g., roundworms, hookworms) and provide deworming recommendations tailored to your pet’s results.

We use digital radiography to diagnose fractures, dental disease, heart conditions, and abdominal issues. X-rays are performed in-house for immediate results during emergencies or routine care.

Our hospital is equipped with ultrasound technology to evaluate organs (e.g., liver, kidneys), detect pregnancies, or guide procedures like fine-needle aspirates for accurate diagnoses.

We perform glaucoma screening using a TONOPEN instrument to measure intraocular pressure in breeds prone to the condition (e.g., Bulldogs, Pugs), helping prevent vision loss with early detection.

We provide EKG/ECG services to monitor heart rhythm and diagnose conditions like arrhythmias, congenital heart defects, or heart disease in pets showing symptoms such as coughing or lethargy.

Our digital dental radiography reveals hidden dental problems (e.g., abscesses, fractured teeth) not visible during a visual exam, ensuring comprehensive oral health assessments before cleanings or extractions.

We perform tooth extractions for severely decayed, fractured, or diseased teeth under general anesthesia with advanced pain management and post-operative care to ensure your pet’s comfort.

Our surgeons handle complex oral procedures, including tumor removals, jaw fractures, and cyst extractions. All surgeries are performed in sterile operating rooms with state-of-the-art monitoring for safety.

We treat periodontal disease through deep cleanings, antibiotics, and at-home care education to prevent gum infections that can lead to tooth loss or systemic illnesses like heart disease.

We provide guidance on brushing techniques, pet-safe toothpaste, dental treats (e.g., CET Chews), and toys to maintain oral health between professional cleanings at home.

We perform spay/neuter surgeries as part of our preventive care programs, including microchipping during these procedures for added safety. Our surgical suite is equipped for safe anesthesia and recovery.

Our emergency team stabilizes critically ill or injured pets through IV fluids, oxygen therapy, CPR, and medications until definitive treatment (e.g., surgery) can be performed.

We provide round-the-clock hospitalization in our ICU for pets requiring intensive care, including hourly vital sign monitoring, IV medications, and specialized nursing support.

Our ICU includes oxygen cages for pets suffering from respiratory distress, post-anesthesia recovery, or conditions like pneumonia, ensuring continuous oxygen supplementation when needed.

We administer IV fluids to treat dehydration, kidney disease, shock, or post-surgical recovery. Our critical care team tailors fluid therapy based on lab results and clinical needs.

Our multi-modal pain management includes pre-emptive analgesics, regional blocks, and post-operative medications to ensure your pet’s comfort during and after procedures or chronic conditions.

We treat ingestions of toxins (e.g., antifreeze, chocolate, lilies) with activated charcoal, IV fluids, and supportive care. Our emergency team follows protocols to minimize organ damage.

We perform sanitary shaves for pets with matted fur, skin infections, or those requiring post-surgical wound care to promote healing and hygiene.

We provide anal gland expression for pets with impacted glands, which can cause pain or scooting. This service is often performed during wellness exams if issues are detected.

We offer rehabilitation services, including hydrotherapy (underwater treadmill), massage, and targeted exercises to aid recovery from orthopedic surgeries or injuries.

Our underwater treadmill provides low-impact exercise for pets recovering from joint issues, post-surgery, or neurological conditions, improving mobility without stressing injured areas.

We use a Quality of Life Scale (Hurt, Hunger, Hydration, Hygiene, Happiness, Mobility) to help pet owners evaluate their companion’s well-being and make informed decisions about end-of-life care.
